Above the Clouds: Yuanyang Rice Terraces

In the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan, at over 5,000 feet elevation, lies Yuanyang. Shrouded in fog and clouds for over half the year, its vast rice terraces have been cultivated for thousands of years. Here, above the clouds, the persistence of humans and the magic of nature meet in creating breathtakingly beautiful mosaics.
